PAY MILLIONS EACH YEAR TO U, S, HEALERS Amount Equal to 12 Per Cent of Amount Paid to M. D.'s for Care. BY MARSHALL M’NF.IL Times SUIT Writer WASHINGTON, May 3—Persons seeking treatment outside of the recognized group of doctors of medicine. pay $125,000,000 annually to osteopaths, chiropractors, naturopaths and allied healers, and Christian Science and new thought prac- ! titioners. according to a report to the committee on the cost of medical care. This committee is headed by Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur. United States secretary of the interior, i The report, prepared by Louis S Reed, shows that this $125,000,000, 12 per cent of the amount spent on the 142.000 doctors of medicine, is ‘ paid to 36,150 other practitioners, j "Present legislation designed to protect the public from unqualified practitioners is not accomplishing its purpose." the report says. | "Although it maintains high stand- i ards for doctors of medicine, it sanctions the existence on a lower; plane of qualifications of thousands of poorly trained practitioners. "The use of any therapeutic measures by untrained or poorly tiained individuals, unable to diagnose disease and unaware of their limitations, is unsound, dangerous and wasteful, no matter how sound those measures may be." Dr. Reed estimates the people of the United States annually spend $42,000,000 for the services of the nation's 7.550 osteopaths; $63.000.000 on 16.000 chiropractors; $lO,000.000 on 2.500 naturopaths and al- ! lied groups, and another $1,000,000 ! on the 10.000 Christian Science and New Thought healers. In explaining the prevalence of healing cults, it says: "The idea of healing the sick, and being a ‘doctor,’ with all that J the title entails, is very attractive Low Round-Trip Week-End Fares CHICAGO SCZ Good in Coaches Only (Paaap Good in Pullman t cars on payment ■ Pullman charges.

For these investors in the six months ending December 31, 1931, building and loan associations earned nearly a quarter of a BILLION dollars. This means that the total assets of associations in the United States are nearly $10,000,000,000.00. The total assets of building and loan associations in Marion County amount to over $80,000,000.00. In the ten years from 1921 to 1930, inclusive, they made loans on nearly fifty thousand homes. 18,450 of these homes were newly built; over 20,000 were homes purchased, and about 9,000 were homes remodelecL In these ten years your local associations would have aided, with a loan, every family in a community of 200,000 people. It is a remarkable record.

to many people, but this field of economic endeavor is closed to many by reason of the very high qualifications which the law' requires of medical practitioners. Healing cults, therefore, provide a short cut for those who lack time, money or mental capacity t.> attain the qualifications demanded of the medical profession." Discussing public patronage of healing cults. Reed gave these reason-: "1. Inattention by some medical practitioners to minor illnesses and to ailments of the mind. "2 Doctors can not cure all diseases. and those who have failed to obtain help from regular doctors feel that little is lost by trying the ‘irregulars.’ "3. Many people still are basically superstitious about disease and health. They regard medicine neither as science nor art, but as magic. “4. Many patients are unaware of the limitations of the healing cult practitioners whom they consult, since they do not understand the meaning of titles of the various practitioners indiscriminately called! doctor.' ”
